Flu shots saves lives. Yes it wasn't as effective this year as some others but its always a gamble.
Think of it as a partial defense against a deadly virus. Tamiflu works if you can start it within the first 48 hours. If need liquid for a kid, then if the Pharmacy has capsules they may be able to compound it.
Compounding is usually done at the independants more than the chains but I have done it at both.
Now my pet peeve- Herbals and homeopathy. Herbals may or may not work depending on the herb and who is making it. Here is the problem with herbals- no one is testing for drug interactions, purity, and effectiveness. They are not medications because of his. Homeopathy- a system of medical practice that treats a disease especially by the administration of minute doses of a remedy that would in larger amounts produce in healthy persons symptoms similar to those of the disease. My opinion this is just snake oil.
